Question

I have to right a equation for this but I don't understand it

Answer 1

The sum of 14 and a number is equal to 17

Let N = the NUMBER.

"The sum of 14" translates to "14 +".

"The sum of 14 and a number" translates to "14 + N".

"The sum of 14 and a number is equal to 17" translates to 14 + N = 17

ANSWER: 14 + N = 17
